This sample features coloured digital film laminated between low-iron glass with a frosted front-face.

Please note, laminated glass is available from 8mm. Please allow 1-3mm additional panel thickness to allow for bonding agents.

Etched Glass

• Etched glass is created by making small abrasions in the surface of glass. These abrasions can be made by various tools such as a sandblasting machine or a hand held flex drive – creating a frosted effect on the glass surface.
• These frosted panels can use the positive space (the frosted areas) or the negative space (the gaps between frosted areas) to form intricate patterns and designs – detailed pictures can even be reproduced through etching on the surface of glass.
• Etching processes utilised by Daedalian Glass Studios include sandblasting (sandblasted glass), engraving with a drill (engraved glass), glue chipping (glue chipped glass), and water jet scoring.
• Etched glass is also known as frosted glass.

Laminated Glass

• Laminated glass is produced through the use of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) as an inter-layer. The process of laminating glass forms a safety glass – holding together even when shattered.
• This EVA solution can be mixed in a clear form to become invisible once set or a white adhesive can be used to create a `milky` finish, altering the translucency of the glass.
• Additionally, foreign objects such as fabrics, metal meshes, wood veneers, stone veneers, paper, and digital films, etc can be placed between the glass to form a strong, functional, and decorative panel design.
